WHAT IS A FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT

A fire risk assessment should assist you in identifying all of the fire dangers and risks that exist in your facility or workplace. You will then be able to determine if the dangers highlighted are tolerable or whether you need to take action to mitigate or control the risks identified.
If your company employs five or more people, you are required to retain a written record of your fire risk assessment.
A Fire Risk Assessment includes:
Determine the potential fire threats.
Identify those who are in danger.
Risks should be evaluated, eliminated, or reduced.
Compile your results, develop an emergency plan, and teach those who may be affected.

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed and updated regularly.
